Edgar Smith asked Julia Alvarez:

I've been a fan of your work for many years and always admired your versatility and adaptability, especially your willingness to go from deeply historical, grown-up topics to YA books and even children stories. As a writer, I can go from genre to genre within fiction (a lot of poetry in-between), but never from one audience to the next. Anything you can share about writing YA after mostly writing for adults? Thanks.

Jeanette

Jeanette asked Julia Alvarez:

Julia, I just finished writing a book about the Dominican Republic where I spent three years as a missionary. My beta readers have said the setting is so powerful it is like "another character in the book." It is about a missionary who is falsely accused of killing his companion, how the loss & his time in jail changes him, and how an adoring girl proves him innocent. Would you be interested in reviewing the book?
